✦ Synopsis

A systematic scheme utilizing 2D and 3D finite-difference time-domain calculations to design 60°photonic crystal waveguide bends is presented. The method results in an improved transmission bandwidth from 70 to 160 nm in 2D simulations, and from 50 to 100 nm in 3D simulations. The design principles involve displacements and enlargements of selected holes in the bend regions.

## Abstract We employ topology optimization with the finite‐element method to improve the coupling between a slab waveguide and a photonic crystal waveguide. Here, we apply topology optimization in a small design region to realize the improvement of the coupling. Also, we simplify an optimized stru

## Abstract A substructuring approach for numerical optimization of photonic crystal devices is proposed and demonstrated. Specifically, we consider the matching of coupled cavity waveguides (CCW's)—known also as coupled resonators optical waveguides (CROWs)—to free space. In this approach, one sep
